Santa Barbara County Heat Clean Program- The Heat Clean Program is expected to reopen in late winter 2025. Please email heatclean@sbcapcd.org to be added to our notification list about a future program.
This voluntary program is designed to help households replace an uncertified wood-burning stove, fireplace insert, or fireplace used as a primary source of heat with a cleaner and more efficient electric heating device. The program offers vouchers toward the purchase and installation of an electric heater with a focus on air-source heat pumps. For more information on heat pumps visit: All About Heat Pumps (heatpumpcalc.com).
Some households may qualify for the full replacement amount, an Enhanced Inventive Voucher, depending on the applicant’s location in a State-designated low-income area, the applicant’s participation in a federal or State low-income assistance program, or the applicant’s household income. Those who do not qualify for the Enhanced Incentive Voucher may qualify for the Standard Voucher.
